Red
Ryan CYO Golf Tournament
On August 18, 1958, 40 golfers teed off in the first NH
State CYO golf tournament at the Derryfield
Country Club in Manchester. Now, in its 53rd year, the
tournament continues to be one of the premier youth golf
events held annually in the state.
The event, first organized by then Diocesan CYO Director
Rev. Colin A. MacDonald, was originally open only to male
golfers registered with a Catholic Youth Organization (CYO),
now attracts both male and female participants from throughout
New Hampshire, with age and residency being the only requirements
for participation.
The tournament was renamed the Red Ryan CYO golf tournament
in 1978, in honor of the late Francis “Red” Ryan. Ryan,
the former golf pro at the Derryfield Country Club, helped
organize the initial tournament along with Rev. MacDonald
and fellow committee members Babe Guay (Laconia Country
Club Pro), Phil Martignetti (Maplewood Golf Course Pro),
and Chuck Duffley, the Bishop Bradley High School golf coach.
Ryan became a staple figure for the tournament, and was
well respected for his contributions to youth golf in the
City of Manchester. Ryan was the first person to win
the Manchester City golf championship and the NH Amateur
Championship in the same year, accomplishing the feat in
1942. |
